Red wigglers (Eisnia Fetida) are the most popular composting worm on the market. They are small but can eat approximately 25% of their body weight daily. They are tolerant of temperature ranges and pH levels, although the ideal temperature range is 18°C to 24°C with a neutral pH.
Our pure red wiggler worms are always cleaned before being weighed, so you receive an accurate worm weight in every order. Our policy is to add 5-10% extra to account for any loss during shipping (depending on travel distance).
The size and number of worms will vary, however:
- 1 lb is approximately 800-1000 worms
- 1/2 lb is approximately 400-500 worms
- 1/4 lb is approximately 200-250 worms
- 1/16 lb is approximately 60-65 worms
IMPORTANT: Worm orders can only be shipped on Mondays or Tuesdays for Alberta orders. Please see our shipping policy for more information.
This is my 2nd order from Wormera and like the first it arrived in a timely fashion and well packaged for shipping.
We have an experiment going on with finishing Bokashi compost that we made in 5 gallon buckets over winter. I placed the Bokashi in the top 6” of year old compost using a bulb planter. Then I placed 1/4 pound of Wormera red wigglers. I then topped it off with a couple inches of freshly made compost.
If anyone out there can advise me how to save some or all of the worms before freeze up to use in an indoor worm bin I would appreciate it.
Thanks again to Wormera for the great service and a great product. Anyone out there looking for a good worm supplier this is an excellent supplier.
Hi Jim! Thank you for your review and for choosing Wormera as your supplier for red wiggler composting worms. It's great to hear about your experiment with finishing Bokashi compost using our worms. To save your worms before freeze-up, feed the buckets with watermelon, squash or banana peels near the top and then collect the worms as they migrate toward their favourite foods. Take the top 6-8 inches of compost to capture most of the worms and to jumpstart your indoor bin. Transfer them into an indoor worm bin and provide them with a warm and moist environment. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you again for your support and for choosing Wormera!
I ordered 1/4 lb of worms and they arrived super fast (I live in Alberta so they arrived the next day) and in great shape. I transferred them to my rotating compost bin, and 10 days later they are already doing a great job! I love the ease of ordering through Wormera as it can be a real hassle to find red wigglers at stores/greenhouses in my area.
I ordered 1/16th of a pound of worms and received that amount. They arrived happy and healthy and have moved into my worm bin. I wish I had bought more, but that is my own fault (hard to visualize worms by the pound).
I placed my order during the advance order period and had to wait for the temperature to be consistently above zero to allow for safe travel. Packaged nicely and they have settled in nicely. Very pleased with the product and delighted to shop Canadian. Definitely recommend.
The worms took longer than I expected to arrive but they did and all the worms still seemed to be alive. I checked th enext day after I put them in compost pile and they were gone so I figured they got right to work and started breaking down the compost.
